Here's a quick look at this week's new releases (and, as always, the continued pursuit of bands with animal names):
Anthrax "Alive" - DVD also available for this set from this year's reunion tour. I heard a lot about the reunion happening, but never another word. I guess this CD proves they did in fact tour.
Miri Ben-Ari "The Hip Hop Violinist" - She's done a great job being the violinist on some hip hop hits, but does that really warrant a CD of her own?
Dicky Betts & Great Southern "Live from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum" - Anyone with a history of being in the Allman Brothers should already tell you it's got some long jams on it.
Bon Jovi "Have a Nice Day" - Let's see how long that comeback lasts.... something tells me they're around 14:59 again.
Burning Spear "Our Music" - I had no idea these reggae rockers were still playing.
Ryan Cabrera "You Stand Watching" - I'm not 15, so I have nothing to say about this one...
Coheed & Cambria "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV: Volume I. From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness" - That title is second to Fiona Apple's "When the Pawn..."
Disturbed "Ten Thousand Fists" - I'm sure it's high energy, and I'm dying to hear their cover of Genesis' "Land of Confusion."
Earth, Wind & Fire "Illumination" - What year is this?
Echo & The Bunnymen "Siberia" - Again, I ask, What year is this?
Ghostface Killah "Raw Footage" - Another Wu Tang solo album.
Buddy Guy "Bring Em In" - Guests include John Mayer, Keith Richards and Santana for a number of cover songs.
Jamiroquai "Dynamite" - It's about time they put out another album. For a while there, Maroon 5 was the only band that sounded like Stevie Wonder (see below).
King's X "Manic/Bulbous/Tapehead" - That's right, three CDs.
Lennon "Beyond Warped" - An incredibly talented singer that is incredibly underrated.
Latoya London "Love & Life" - Another album from an American Idol alum.
Maroon 5 "Friday the 13th - Live at the Santa Barbara Bowl" - It's about time we had two bands that sound like Stevie Wonder release an album on the same day.
Bif Naked "Superbeautifulmonster" - Another underrated female singer - this one's got a few too many tattoos though.
Shaggy "Clothes Drop" - Another reggae album for the day. I hadn't heard anything about him in a while either.
Barbra Striesand "Guilty Pleasure" - Um....no comment on this one either.
Here's this week's list of bands with animal names that are releasing albums this week: Echo & The Bunnymen, Horse, Charlie Peacock,
